Amber Heard after losing the trial against Johnny Depp: “I have a broken heart”
Actor Johnny Depp was defamed by his ex, actress Amber Heard, according to the verdict of the trial ruled on Wednesday.
The verdict in the trial of Amber Heard and Johnny
Depp was delivered this Wednesday, June 1. After six weeks, they concluded
that the actor was defamed by his ex.
The seven jurors deliberated for at least 12 hours. In this
way, they decided that Amber Heard acted maliciously by pointing out Johnny
Depp as a domestic abuser.
Due to the judicial decision, the actor who stars in Pirates of
the Caribbean will be compensated with 15 million dollars. The interpreter
had requested a total of 50 million.
On the other hand, after the end of the trial, it was ruled
that Amber Heard will receive another two million dollars. This is for
compensatory damages.
The first to speak out for the decision was Amber Heard herself. The
Aquaman actress took to her Twitter account to post a statement in
reaction.
What did Amber Heard say after losing the trial?
Amber Heard took to her social media to post a statement.
There, she said she felt "heartbroken and heartbroken"
“The disappointment I feel today is beyond words. I am
heartbroken that the mountain of evidence was still not enough to stand up
to my ex-husband's disproportionate power, influence and influence," she
began the statement.
In that context, Amber Heard lamented: “I am even more
disappointed with what this verdict means for other women. It's a throwback.
It turns back the clock to a time when a woman who speaks up could be
publicly humiliated. It rejects the idea that violence against women should
be taken seriously."
"I think Johnny's lawyers managed to get the jury to ignore the
key issue of free speech and to ignore the very compelling evidence that we
won in the UK," she added.
“I am sad that we lost this case. But I am even sadder because
it seems that I have lost a right that I thought I had as an American: to
speak freely and openly, “concluded the actress.
